2 variations of Pakora's using Instant Pakora Mix
Here I am showing you how to prepare 2 variations of pakoras using the Instant Pakora mix. A quick tutorial on how quick and easy preparing Pakoras can actually be when the pakora batter is pre-made. Time saving Hack.
Ingredients
Mixed Pakora's
- 1 Medium Onions (sliced)
- 2 Cups Spinach (sliced)
- 1 Medium Grated potato
- 2 Whole Green chillies (optional)
Sliced Vegetable Pakora's
- 1 large Potato
- 1/2 Aubergine (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
Mixed Pakora Guide
- Take out your Instant Pakora Mix and add a few tablespoons to your bowl
- Add the chopped onions and spinach
- Add the sliced green chillies
- Grate your potatoe into long shreds so they replicate the onions and add this to the bowl.
- Mix all the ingredients well without adding any water to the mixture. We will use the moisture from the onions and spinach to dry bind these together.
- Check your mixture and add water to it gradually. The mixture should not be runny, if it is add more pakora mix to it.
- The mixture should be intact but should loosely drop down when picked up (see my video below as a guide to the required consistency).
- Add more water / pakora mix if required.
- Fry in oil on medium heat until lightly golden brown on both sides
Vegetable Pakora Slice's
- Slice the potato and aubergine into medium slices approx. 3-4mm thickness (you can use any vegetable you like)
- Take out a few tablespoon of "Instant pakora mix" and add 2 tablespoon of water and mix to a thick paste. At this stage , you need to mix until all lumps are removed.
- Once lumps are removed, add enough water so it coats the back of your spoon (see video as a guide).
- Pre-heat your oil to low/medium (
- Coat the slices into the batter and fry until golden brown from both sides.
- Check whether the vegetable pakora slices are cooked from inside. As these are a bit thick, they will usually take a bit longer to fry then the mixed pakora's above. I usually take 1 out to see if its cooked. The Potato pakora's will take slightly longer than the aubergines pakora's.
